Kyrgyz version
Er Toshtuk tells the story of a warrior named Toshtuk who falls into the Underworld, where with the help of some very unusual friends, he battles giants, monsters and killer kettle to find his soul. Eventually, Toshtuk saves the chicks in a nest on the Tree of Life and is flown to earth by their giant Mother Bird. Visually, the production combines traditional and contemporary elements. Some monsters are created by Javanese shadow puppets. Shaarbek Amankul created projections that form an organic part of the set built by Damir Nasybullin. Begaim Turumbekova is in charge of the lights, while the costumes are by Aynura Asanbekova.
Er Toshtuk plays an additional performance on Sunday July 13, 2008 19:00 at the B’Art Center (formerly City of Artists) 1 Karasayeva (Druzhba St) in Bishkek.
The show will have three performances Wednesday- Friday July 16-18 at 20:00 at the Village Cultural center in Kara Suu, At-Bashy Region in Naryn Oblast
